September 1996 - January 1999 Freiberg, Germany

Study of at an undergraduate level;

Research Assistant

Scientific programmer for a sensor to measure

groundwater flow. Real-time controlling of the sensor via RS232, data

acquisition, processing, and visualization. The programming

was in Turbo Pascal and Assembler on MS-DOS at both the application

and system programming levels.

Modeling the distribution of electromagnetic properties in the earth.

Provided a visual interface to load and save different model

types, view models, and change properties. The programming was done

in Unix/C++. For the visual interface I used

X-Windows/QT.

These jobs funded my educational and living expenses.
